The best area of Venice to stay in. Quiet, residential and half the cost of other areas. Easy 25 minute walk to San Marco and right next to the train station / piazzale Roma for transport links.

A fascinating place just to wander around. Away from the main tourist spots and considerably quieter yet still as attractive to those who want to amble. I wish that we had found more time to go inside some of the seven synagogues and compare but sadly it was too late in our day to do so. I would recommend, or if I ever get to go to Venice again, a three hour allowance to visit this area in more detail. It certainly deserves it.

One of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the city. Come here to get lost wandering the streets, and then you emerge at a canal. Lots of places to eat and drink. But you will encounter big crowds as everyone wants to come to Venice.

Just as you exit the train station turn left and walk down the narrow street, Rio Terra Lista di Spagna, where you will find shops, restaurants and many hotels and BBs. This was the perfect place to stay for access to the many vaporetto routes, the bridge into Santa Croce and beyond. Plus you don't need to cross any bridges to get to some of the accommodations with your luggage. The neighborhood continues into a large, spacious campo ( square) and the community known as the Jewish Ghetto. The area is filled with many cafes and eateries that line the smaller canals, popular in the late afternoon and evening. Well worth a visit with wonderful design, fewer tourists and more local residents.

It is one of the most beautiful and characteristic neighborhoods of Venice. It is north of the city and Santa Lucia station is an important place. The Ca' Vendramin Palace of the Municipal Casino is also part of it as is the Ghetto. Ideal for a healthy and relaxing walk among historic buildings and many dining options to taste the fabulous Venetian cuisine!

An area unknown to us... It turned out to be a little fairy tale... Tranquility that in Venice in classic even dreams... A synagogue discovered by chance, and visited by us with the help of a very knowledgeable Guide (young and named Anna), to whom I congratulate certainly deserved, and to whom I send our greetings. Obviously highly recommended for those looking for explanations in detail.

We explored the area by using the Explorial app that you can download, it was very insightful and enjoyable. Starting in the historic Jewish Quarter (the oldest ghetto in Europe) we then discovered churches and locations associated with the artist Tintoretto. A lovely way to spend a few hours at your own pace.
